Questions answered? Let's get started!

Complete and record this form, along with an official copy of the deceased joint tenant's death certificate, to formalize the transfer of property rights to the surviving co-owner.

To remove the decedent's name altogether, execute a new deed showing both joint tenants as grantors and only the survivor as a grantee. For example: "John Doe (deceased) and Richard Roe, as joint tenants with right of survivorship, convey to Richard Roe as sole owner." Present the new deed along with the affidavit of surviving joint tenant or submit it for recording on its own at a later date.

I wanted the Lady Bird Deed for my estate, and it was very easy to download, fill out and file. My county records department accepted it with no issue. Thank you Deeds.com! You saved me over $500.00!

I would make just two suggestions. (1) Create and example showing multiple grantor(s) and (2) In the same example, show where and estate is conveyed to two or more people. It would help in knowing the correct format.

It's useful to have forms specific to the County as well as the State. The examples are also helpful, but it would be even more helpful to see an example of a complete and successfully filed package. I will go the County Recorder's Office to see if I can find an example there.
